Chennai Super Kings
 The team had the lowest decibel build-up in the run-up to the tournament. But Mind It! With players like Dhoni, Hayden, Hussey, Murali, Oram (to name only a few) in their ranks, their exploits in the IPL can be anything but low decibel. Led by captain cool Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who steered India to a World Cup triumph in the same format, the onus will be on the highest paid player in the bidding to provide the impetus to the Super Kings in their pursuit of glory.
A disadvantage to the India Cements owned Chennai will be the mass exodus of foreign players for international duties in the middle of the tournament. Hayden, Hussey and Oram who form the core of the team, will fly back home midway.
